Hajiyev Busts Bonomo to Grow Stack to Over a Million

Level 13 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

From early position, Byron Kaverman opened for 36,000. Ramin Hajiyev called from the button, Justin Bonomo called from the big blind.

Both Bonomo and Kaverman checked on {K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Hajiyev bet 65,000. Bonomo called, Kaverman folded.

As the {8-Hearts} hit the turn, Bonomo checked again. Hajiyev bet 129,000 and Bonomo needed some time to decide what to do. At one point it looked like he called, but it was, in fact, a time breaker chip he tossed in to add 30 seconds to his clock. He eventually moved all in for what appeared to be 210,000. Hajiyev called instantly.

Ramin Hajiyev: {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Justin Bonomo: {K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

The river {8-Diamonds} paired the board but the kicker still played. Bonomo eliminated, Hajiyev the first player with over a million in chips.
